I got this idea randomly a few months ago but never really did anything with it cause I was too lazy but I've been in a funk lately and writing this has kinda help. I'm just posting this to see if people would like to read it or whatever. I don't know frequently the updates would be but I would continue this if people wanna read it (if anyone is reading it).
I don't own Glee
Enjoy!
Pulling up to the curb of the airport drop off, Kurt held back a sigh as he put the his car in park. He climb out after his two passengers, popping the trunk so they could get their bags.
"Thanks again for the ride Kurt," Rachel said with a smile, grabbing her pink suitcase from the trunk. "I totally thought we were going to be stuck with my dads and their emotional goodbyes."
Kurt could only muster a small chuckle, smiling a little. He stuffed his hands in the pockets of his pants, looking down at his doc martens. He blinked his eyes a few times, trying to fight back tears and fighting off sleep. Why did he agree to drive them to the airport at four in the freaking morning. The plane ride is less than two hours, why do they wanna get to New York so early?
"Uh-oh. I think we didn't got away from the emotional goodbye Rachel." Blaine said with a laugh, putting his suitcase down and wrapping Kurt up in his arms.
Kurt immediately melted into the embrace; hugs from Blaine are his favorite. Blaine would always rest his chin on top of his head and rubs small circles on his back while Kurt rests his head on Blaine's chest, usually hugging back tightly.
"Aw Kurt!" Rachel cood, joining the now group hug. "You'll be fine without us. It's not like we're leaving you completely alone."
Kurt was thankful that his face was buried in Blaine's shirt or she would've him rolling his eyes which would lead to a conversation he didn't want to have. Sure there were some of the original glee members left but none of them were his best friends. The closest one is Tina but she's too emotional unstable about Mike going off to college to even pay attention to what's going on. On second thought, maybe Kurt and her would get get along nicely.
Blaine placed a kiss on the top of Kurt's head, Rachel kissing his cheek, before stepping out of the hug. He gave the younger boy a smile.
"You'll be fine okay? You still have Tina, Sam, Artie and Brittany."
"Plus all the graduates that are still in Lima." Rachel added on with a smile.
"I know," Kurt said with a shrug. "But they're not you two… I don't see them as my best friends."
Rachel looked like she was about to cry, placing a hand over her heart she said: "Oh Kurt. We'll miss you too."
Blaine nodded in agreement.
Kurt gave them a smile before stepping away from them. He leaned against his car, watching them both. Rachel looked at the airport in front of her, a grin on her face as she turns to Blaine who looked just as excited.
"If you two keep standing there you're gonna miss your plane," Kurt said. "I didn't drag my ass out of bed at three in the morning to have you guys miss your flight."
Blaine looked over at him and stuck his tongue out. Kurt chuckled, crossing his arms over his chest. Rachel looks like she's going to burst with excitement if she and Blaine don't start heading to their new home soon.
"Have a safe flight," Kurt said. "Let me know when you get there… oh and send pictures so you can rub it in my face." He aimed the last part at Rachel who grinned.
"Drive safe Kurt," Blaine said back. "Don't let the awesomeness of senior year get to your head."
Kurt laughed. At the joke itself and because it was a joke. His senior year will be anything but awesome. Facing it without his two best friends at his side while Dave Karofsky and his group of neanderthal friends freely roamed the halls... It's gonna be Hell. He shook the thoughts out of his head, looking back at Rachel and Blaine who were talking excitedly.
"Just don't forget me okay?" Kurt said with a smile, hiding his seriousness behind it.
"Us forgetting Kurt Hummel?" Blaine asks, sounding appalled by the question. "Never."
They shared another smile before Rachel and Blaine turned away and headed towards to airport doors, stopping only to wave at him before disappearing out of sight, being swept away in the crowd of early fliers.
Kurt stood there for a few minutes longer, worrying his bottom lip between his teeth. His mind was going a mile a minute, one thought leading to another one. From Blaine and Rachel living it up in the city, forgetting all about him or laughing about how funny it was that he's still stuck in Lima for another year, to Blaine falling in love with a boy who wasn't Kurt.
Of course that's gonna happen, Kurt thought to himself as he climbed back into his car. He's going to a place where there's no reason to hide being gay. He's gonna find someone and fall in love, laughing while he breaks your heart.
"Whoa, calm down Hummel," Kurt mumbled as he pulled away from the curb. "You had the chance to tell him you like him multiple times, you chickened out. He doesn't know you like him and if he breaks your heart it'll be unintentionally."
To distract himself from his own racing mind, he turned on the radio, surprised that there was good music playing and sang along, contemplating on stopping and treated himself to a breakfast sandwich and coffee.
"Screw it," He thought, turning into a drive-thru of a McDonald's. "I deserve this."
A few minutes later, Kurt was back on the road, singing along to Being Alive while eating a breakfast sandwich, that he's sure he's gonna regret later.
He glanced over at the clock, 4:45AM. Kurt took a sip of coffee, switching lanes and taking his exit. He glances over at the clock again, still the same time.
"Is school worth it?" Kurt thought out loud. "By the time I get home it'll be five and I'll just get up again in a hour." Kurt sighed. "I'll just go in late I suppose."
Kurt got a few minutes after five. He slipped into his house, locking the door behind him, and quickly ran upstairs. He ran a hand down his face, yawning as he does it. Changing quickly back into his pajamas, he set his alarm for eight in the morning and climbs into bed. He'll be in school in time for glee second block and that's all that matters.
"This is so exciting," Rachel said, basically bouncing in her seat. "Soon we'll be off in New York, NYADA students, and taking over the city."
"With our own apartment as well," Blaine added. "This is going to be amazing."
"I know!" She all but squealed, glancing out the window again.
Blaine looked over at her smiled. She grew more and more excited with each passing moment, bring them closer to New York. He started to feel excited too when the pilot announced that they'll be landing in a half hour. Rachel looked out the window every other minute, hoping to catch sight of the wonderful city.
He couldn't help but think about Kurt, how he's now stuck in Lima for another year until his graduation. Blaine knows that Rachel and himself are the reason why Kurt didn't crack last year with all the bullies. Sure, they'll be there to help him if there's bullying this year, no questions asked, but there's something more comforting and effective with being a helping hand in person than over Skype. Blaine knows that Kurt will try to hide things from them, mostly him, so that's why he asked Sam and Tina to keep an eye on Kurt, to let him know if anything bad happens to him incase the boy in question won't tell him.
Blaine knows that it's a little unfair to ask that of his two other best friends but he would be lying if he said that he wasn't worried about Kurt. He doesn't perform well under pressure and bottles things up inside, refusing to let anyone in or know that's happening. He won't even express his feelings during song.
He know's probably just overreacting as always but Kurt's his best friend, he can't and won't let anything happen to him.
"Blaine!" Rachel squeaked, hitting his arm. "We're here! Oh my, God. We're landing. Blaine. We're in New York."
The boy let out a chuckle. "If you keep hitting my arm you're gonna have to lug my bags around with yours all the way to the apartment."
"Sorry," Rachel said sheepishly. "I just get excited.."
"No worries," Blaine flashed her a toothy grin. "I'm excited too."
"We must send Kurt a picture of us in front of our new place once we get there," She said before frowning a bit. "It's a shame he can't come with us."
"You know that he would if his school year didn't start yet."
"He could've skipped and helped us move in, I'm missing him already."
Blaine chuckled. "Remember, this is Kurt we're talking about here. He wouldn't skip a day of his senior year of high school without an actual reason."
Rachel nodded, looking like she was thinking something over. After a minute of being silent she asked quietly, "Do you think he's going to be okay without us?"
"I was thinking the same thing," Blaine looked down at his hands before sighing. "I suppose we'll just have to be there for him as much as we can. I asked Sam and Tina to keep an eye on him for us."
"You're having them spy on him?" Rachel asked, looking surprised.
"No, they're not spying on him Rach, they're just gonna tell us when things are getting rough. You know Kurt, he would tell us because he doesn't want to worry us."
Rachel nodded. "I guess that's better than nothing. I just feel weird having someone else looking after him for us but he's a big boy. Plus, all the bullies graduated with us so he should be fine."
"Did you forget that Dave Karofsky was held back?"
"Oh right."
"Kurt will be fine. Finn's still there to help him as well. He's in good hands. Now, enough with the worry talk." Blaine said as the pilot came overhead and made the landing announcement. "We're landing in our new home."
Kurt head a headache and he hasn't even been in school for an hour. When he got home from the airport he managed to sleep for about thirty minutes before his usual alarm went off. He tossed and turned but wasn't getting anywhere so he just layed there and stared at the ceiling until he felt like moving. He doesn't even know why he came to school today. As soon as he walked in he got locker-checked and laughed at by the football team. He wasn't surprised though, same thing every day and every year.
"I still don't understand why you let them treat you that way dude," Sam, who was waiting for Kurt at his locker, said. "Just tell them off. I know you're sassy enough to do it."
"It'll just anger them if I do," Kurt said with a sigh. "Remember last year when I told them off and I ended up getting slushied from all directions and then thrown into a dumpster."
"I'll come help you," Sam said. "And so will Tina."
Kurt looked over at him and raised an eyebrow. "Really? And why would you do that? Don't take this the wrong way but we are exactly friends."
Sam shrugged and played with one of the strings on his hoody. "I know but I wanna change that. There aren't much members in the glee club now and we all gotta stick together. Blaine isn't here to keep me and Tina sane so I figured you would wanna, I don't know, join our awesome friendship threesome of awesomeness."
Kurt finished getting the books he needed before closing his locker. He side was still screaming from when he was pushed and his headache was getting worse. What the hell was Sam even talking about? He rubbed his temple as the bleach blonde boy in front of him rambled on, stumbling over his words as he went.
"Sam, enough," Kurt snapped, making the boy stop talking. "Just because Blaine isn't here to carry on your friendship threesome or whatever you called it doesn't mean that I'm going to take his place."
"You won't be taking his place, we all know Kurt Hummel is no place filler," Sam smiled. "But I meant what I said dude, I want us to become better friends. Like hang out and stuff."
"We hang out in glee all the time." Kurt pointed out before heading down the hall, hoping to get away from the over energetic boy but he had no such luck.
"I meant outside of glee, without everyone else there," Sam followed him. "Me, you and Tina would make a pretty good team if you ask me."
"If I say yes to hanging out with you and Tina will you leave me alone?"
"Yes, totally."
"Okay, fine. I'm in."
"Sweet, awesome sauce. You wont regret this," Sam said before heading back the way they just came. "Text me!"
"That's gonna be hard to do when I don't have your number," Kurt sighed as he said that to Sam, who was already out of hearing distance.
He sighed again and started walking to class again. The bell rang overhead and he cursed under his breath as picked up the pace a little. He still has to go down the stairs and to the other side of the building basically. Damn building layout. Good thing Madame Avis likes me, Kurt thought as he raced down the second floor.
And stopped dead in his tracks.
Karofsky and a few more members of the football were standing in the hallway, by the looks of it they were in the middle of bullying a known nerd. Kurt looked around, debating if he should go back they way he came or sneak past and hope they don't see him. He took a breath and took a step back, freezing when his boots squeaked on the floor.
"I was starting to wonder when I would see you today, Hummel." Karofsky said as he looked over.
Kurt stood frozen in his spot, not knowing what to do. He could still run and hide with the possibility of them not finding him, but he was too scared to move. It's his senior year of high school, he was really hoping he didn't have to deal with all the bullies again but of course he'll suffer this year too. The universe hates him.
The other jocks let the nerd go, obviously more excited about bullying McKinley's only gay kid. Karofsky walked closer, smacking the books out of Kurt's hand before pushing him back, sending him falling on his butt. Kurt caught himself in the nick of time though, any later and his head would've hit the bottom stair.
"Welcome to our senior year homo," Karofsky smiled as he was handed a cup. "It's the last go around. Maybe this year we'll be able to get the gay outta you."
The other jocks laughed as Karofsky smirked and dumped the slushie on Kurt, who gasped at the coldness of it. The cup landed on the floor next to his head, making him flint. He didn't move until he heard them walk off. He let out a groan, feeling his now wet and sticky clothing sticking to him. Coursing under his breath, he picked out his dropped books and headed towards the nearest bathroom.
He was an idiot for thinking that Karofsky would leave him alone this year. He got too confident with it when two weeks went by without a single slur or push. It's his last year, of course Karofsky, still mad about being held back, his going to give him the worst senior year ever. It wasn't even that part that had Kurt locking the bathroom door behind him and dropped to his knees as he cried. It was that he was going to have to suffer all this alone. His only friends were miles away and like hell he was going to let Tina and Sam know what's happening in great detail, not even Rachel and Blaine knew as much as they both thought they did.
Kurt was completely and utterly alone.
Thoughts?
